Poetry: If I could

by Billy Ashmall

Created on: June 03, 2008   Last Updated: June 06, 2008

If I could go back in time before the first kiss
I'd give it all back cause it's you that I miss.
I miss how it felt to have a true friend,
someone to share with when life takes a bend,
the person who listens and shares as they will,
a friendship like yours is sure hard to fill.
I dream no more of the physical touch,
but I dream of us talking which I miss so much
the stories of laughter, the stories of tears,


the stories of how we got through the years.
I'll never forget the chats that we had,
you're deep in my heart and for that I am glad.
But each day that goes by with you so far away
I think of our friendship and then I just pray.
I pray that you're happy the rest of your life
I pray that you never experience strife
I hope you remember the friendship we had
And deep in your heart I hope you are glad.
Losing a lover is pain that's for sure
but nothing like losing a friendship so pure.
for you were my shoulder and I think I was yours
Now there's no one to talk to, just closed solid doors.
You've shut me out like a stranger at night
Wasn't our friendship worth a great fight?
I understand we crossed a huge line
And never in life will you ever be mine
But I don't want to lose the friendship we knew
And I hope in your mind neither do you.
